Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs Use the marinade from our Greek chicken with tzatziki recipe
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 longhorn red pepper
  • 6 whole garlic cloves (unpeeled)
  • onion thinly sliced
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • sea salt
  • dried oregano
  • sugar optional

For Assembly

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425–450°F (220–230°C).
    Place cherry tomatoes, whole garlic cloves (with skins on), and the whole longhorn pepper on a baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil and toss lightly.
    Sprinkle tomatoes with a small pinch of sugar, sea salt, and oregano. Season everything lightly with salt.
    Roast for about 25–30 minutes, until tomatoes are blistered and slightly collapsed, garlic is soft inside , and red pepper is charred and tender.
    Remove from oven. Let cool slightly.Slice the pepper into strips. Pop the garlic out of its skins — it should be soft, sweet, and spreadable.
    ½ cup cherry tomatoes, 1 longhorn red pepper, 6 whole garlic cloves, extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, sea salt
  • While vegetables roast, cook the marinated chicken thighs in a hot skillet over medium-high heat.
    Sear until nicely charred and caramelized (the honey in the marinade helps this), about 4–5 minutes per side depending on thickness.
    Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
  • Warm the Greek pitas in a dry pan or briefly in the oven until soft and lightly charred in spots. A tiny brush of olive oil is optional.
    Place each pita on a plate.

Assemble the Wrap

  • Spread a generous layer of yogurt–feta dip over the pita.
  • Add sliced chicken evenly across the center.
  • Place 4–5 roasted tomatoes.
  • Add sliced roasted red pepper (about half per wrap).
  • Add 2-3 soft roasted garlic cloves.
  • Scatter plenty of thinly sliced onions.
  • Drizzle some balsamic glaze (optional).
    Fold and serve immediately.

Notes

The chicken can marinate for as little as 5 minutes, but overnight marinating develops deeper flavor and enhances caramelization during cooking.
